Gas stove are way better for a cook top ( problem with electric burners they still cook some 20 minutes after you killed the power. electric oven reign in that area because they are a bit more even for the overall area still have to plan for the element cool down or things will be over cooked.

More so the glass top ones...the old open element stoves cool down pretty quickly

Kinda lackluster.....imo.

Oh well, I'm sure we'll think of something to do with the lumber.

Dennis, perhaps you will appreciate this about bacon. I love bacon! I have to watch out because it is high in sodium but I love it so! I have a bit of problem with leg/ankle edema, so, have been aware of sodium, especially, of late. I was drinking way, way, way too much electrolyte drink, Powerade Zero and Gatorade Zero to be exact. That right there is enough to cause a problem. Anyway, on the bacon, my gf cooks the most amazing bacon. Each time I am with her, I just can't get over how good it is and I have talked to her about how the heck can this be? I know how to cook bacon! But hers is ALWAYS better. I have told her that I think it is the fat. That it's like her bacon retains more fat in the cooked bacon and it's like her bacon just melts in my mouth. Delicious! So, we talked about it at length and came up with the idea that she cooks hers much slower than I do. If I cook mine on 4 - 5, she cooks hers on, like, 2.5.

So, I cooked my next batch at my house on lower heat. It helped but still wasn't the solution.

Then next time together, I mused that it HAS to be her skillet. It's stainless steel. And she puts a cover on. So, I kept looking and, eventually, found the identical skillet, with lid, on eBay. Yippee! Still did not solve it.

I am with her again and each day, I just can't believe how good her bacon is! So, now, I am at the last straw. We think it that she has a gas stove. And mine is electric. We can cook the identical brand and hers is SO much better, I could eat ten pieces, lol. I try to limit it to 3!

So, there you have it. A plug for a gas stove. Right now, am wanting some bacon, lol.

Yawner I believe the reason your gf's cooked bacon tastes better than yours is, you love her and everything she does makes you swoon.
